A Sad Death.
•On Sunday aftornoon at $:30
o’clock Mrs. Dr. J. M. Hooten died
very suddenly at her home at Wood
bury from heart failure. Her re¬
mains were brought to this city
>
reaching here at 4 p. m. yesterday,
and were carried to the residence of
Capt. G. A. Cunningham and will be
buried this morning, tbeluaeml tak¬
ing place at 10 o’clock at ths Bap¬
tist church.
Mrs. Hooten was a daughter of
Cnpt. and Mrs. W. W. Huff (both de¬
ceased) of this city and is a sister o!
John H. Huff and a niece of Capt. G.
A. Cunningham. She was a most
estimable and lovable woman and
her untimely death has cast a gloom
over the community in which she
lived, and in the hearts of her friends
and Telatives which is only broken
into by the light of belief that the
pure soul which so suddenly left its
tenement of clay, is in Heaven today,
singing songs of eternal praise to the
Master. She married Dr. Hooten
about 5 years ago and their home
life has been one of the most touch¬
ing devotion to each other, and this
separation by death, is a terrible
blow to the young husband, who is
almost frantic with grief, but who
bows in humble submission to the
will of God.
She has been in ill health for some
time but has been improving lately,
and on Thursday last spent the
day with her relatives in this city,
when her husband spoke of her im¬
provement, saying he had greater
hopes than ever of her permanent
recovery. On Sunday shortly after
dinner she complained of feeling sick
and in a few moments she was a
corpse. The remains were accom¬
panied to this city by a number of
relatives and friends.
She was 2$ years of age at the
thna of her death. The grief stricken
husband and relatives have the
, tenderest sympathy of all in their
bereavment.

What They Have to Say—No Ikungor
Any Extended Plot Feared.
New York, March 23.—Chief
tor Byrnes fully realises the necessity
this time of curbing the revenge ful
of the Italian colonists of this city,
preventing exhibitions of too much
gressiveness over the recent episode
New Orleans.
The poorer class of Italians is
erably excited over what they regard
a high handed outrage, and an
may occur at auy time.
Detective Sergeants Perezzo and
satio, of tbe central office, have been
remitting iu their labors among the
ians during the past week. They
succeeded in locating the
of two of the leaders of the Mafia of
New Orleans, who arrived in this
on Friday last.
The names of these men are
Contenati and Antonio Mai each i.
The men are being shadowed by

sign of any attempt to incite their
trymen Already the two are to be arrested.
agents of the Maiia are
work aiuoug the members of the
nity in this city. Several .secret
ings were held yesterday in the
parts of the city, but owing to the
spector’s forethought and discretion
assigning members of the police
who are conversant with the
language, he succeeded in having
trusted agent in disguise present at
gathering, knowledge and to-day he is in
of of the complete
ings carried on at each meeting.
The inspector pretends to be
of any concerted action
among the Italians, but to
this he had a conference with the
ous precincts captains the of the police force, in
natives of sunny Italy
colonized. He cautioned extreme
to prevent any excitement among
Italians, and he advised doubling
patrolmen in localities where
are wont to congregate in large
bers. Every precaution will be
to prevent any more secret
being held.
The inspector believes in the
of the Mafia society, and recognizes
strength and power in the Italian
munity.
Considerable speculation is indulged
in regarding the object of the visit
the two emmissaries from New Orleans.
Various theories have been
but the idea that prevails generally,
that they have been commissioned

Tlie fulfillment of these provisions,

Philadelphia, March 23.—'There is
every prospect that a steamship line
will be runqing betweeit - this port and
the chief ports on the west coast of Af¬
rica. The American Colonization socie¬
ty at Washington last week, adopted
resolutions expressing its iiearty satis¬
faction that a line of steamers is con¬
templated between this country and
west Africa, and ilioir willingness to co¬
operate in maintaining it.
Similar action has been taken by the
Pennsylvania Colonization society,
which has agreed to subscribe for a con¬
siderable amount of the stock and bonds
of the company. ,
The matter was brought up in the
Philadelphia Board of Trade about a
year ago, and that body is taking a fore¬

The money will soon he forthcoming,
and it is expected i hat before the end of
the year one or more learners will be
dispatched to the west coast. It is pro¬
bable that the company will at first
charter vessels, though before a groat
while it will own its steamers. The col¬
onization societies anticipate a large in¬
crease in the emigration of negroes from
this country. A good many negroes in¬
tend in the near future to go to Liberia.
It is said our people have Tittle idea as
yet of the present feeling of the south¬
ern negroes with regard to emigration.
The information which has reached the
colonization societies at Washington and
Philadelphia, least leads them to believe that
at 1,000,0(>0 southern negroes desire
to leave this country for Africa, and
will do so as soon as they can raise the
means and decide upon what part of the
west coast to settle in. Many of them
do not wish to go to Liberia, but prefer
to try their fortunes in some other part
of the continent.

Washington, March 23.—No confirm

be obtained in Washington. Thom who
would be apt to know if the secretary
had soy such intention are of tbe opin¬
ion that there ia no foundation for the

with the secretary says that Mr. Proctor
then spoke enthusiastically of war de¬

do daring the next two years, and that,
judging from that conversation, he
thinks tho secretary could not possibly
be contemplating a resignation.
Mr. Proctor's present tour is far from

results bearing on the course of affairs
in military circles for tbe coming two
